That looks pretty sharp!

What profile did you wrap them with? Any comments on the ride with so little tirewall?

Bet the turn in and transient response feels much tighter!

Keep it up, looks great!

Well first off i noticed a difference immediately with a lighter wheel. The tires are from my previous setup 205/40/17

i just got them on today so no one has really seen them, but I haven't had any issues with the lo-pro aside from needing to dodge road craters which i do anyway.

Thanks for the comment!

What rims are these? I'm digging these compared to the other ones you had on. Did you end up going different offsets?

So i received my CF Vinyl in the mail the other day and I am looking forward to a nice day to install it on my roof, and mirror caps. I might also do the rear diffuser instead of painting it and I wanted your guys thoughts on an idea i had.

Let me know what you guys think of this?

*hint* Im talking about the grill lol

Kinda reminds me of what happened to me... I went to the dentist, came back with two missing molars (a wisdom and the "2nd" molar in front of it).

It's like looking at a man smiling with dentures, except his dentures are in his hand at the moment.

I literally laughed out loud at that haha. I did think that when I PhotoShopd it painted but I feel it looks nicer with the cf vinyl and will complement the other pieces in wrapping big grin for the win lol

Hey guys, so im gonna get back into biking as it gets nicer and im looking for a rack solution. I think the cheapest thing for me is to get a hitch since i already have a hitch bike rack, the only thing i need to decide on is which hitch.

I know there is a cycling thread that has a couple different options but i havent seen anyone with this one:
Trailer Hitch by Curt for 2009 Fit - 11064

Has anyone installed this? Or have any thoughts? If i dont go with this, because it requires drilling, then i will just get the hiddenhitch one. Im just worried about it getting in the way when i get an exhaust OR when i lower.

Thoughts are definitely appreciated thanks!
